IMPD: Woman, juvenile injured in domestic shooting

INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating after a woman and juvenile were injured in a domestic shooting on Indy’s east side Saturday morning.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, just after midnight, officers were called to the 6100 block of East 21st Street on the report of a person shot.

When officers arrived, they located an adult female and juvenile female with gunshot wounds. The adult female was transported to an area hospital in stable condition, while the juvenile female was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.

Investigators stated the juvenile female was later upgraded to stable condition.

Officers believe the shooting stemmed from a domestic disturbance between the adult female and a known party, who did not live at the residence.

In an updated news release from IMPD on Monday, officers at the scene learned that the suspect, later identified as 21-year-old Jerimiah Eldridge, had left the scene in a vehicle before officers arrived. Detectives used “various investigative techniques to locate him.” Officials said a firearm related to the shooting had been located by detectives.

An IMPD spokesperson confirmed with FOX59/CBS4 Saturday night that Eldridge was arrested for his alleged role in the shooting. Monday’s release said that Eldridge turned himself in to IMPD headquarters. He has been preliminarily charged with two counts of attempted murder.

Anyone with information is asked to contact IMPD at 317-327-3475, or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS.
